An Introduction to the Grammar of Old English

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the application of systemic functional grammar to the Old English historical dialect (650-1150 CE), this book offers a pioneering analysis that distinguishes three communication functions: representation, attitude, and text construction. It provides a comprehensive description of Old English clauses and grammar, addressing nominal, verbal, and adverbial groups, as well as clause relationships and cohesion. Aimed at both systemic functional grammarians and students of Old English, it presents a modern perspective on the grammatical system beyond traditional frameworks.
